Honorably-discharged veterans may have a Veteran designation placed on their license. Present evidence of honorable discharge at any DMV office.

If you are obtaining the designation only, the fee is $9.25 for a non-commercial license or ID card or $13.25 for a commercial license. There is no additional fee if you are renewing your license or completing another license transaction. If you are mailing a license renewal, you may mail a copy of the document. Visit archives.gov to obtain a copy of your DD-214 or other evidence of honorable discharge.
